(addon) NSIScons - use NSIS variables in your button bar

[tpr]

NSIScons helps you using NSIS constants (e.g. $WINDIR, $HISTORY, $LOCALAPPDATA) in Total Commander's Button Bar.

By clicking on an NSIScons button, the target panel of Total Commander will jump to the corresponding location.

See the included readme.txt.

No additional external software is needed to achieve the same goal: Simply use the existing environment variables and the T.C. internal special variables.

I found only about 20 TC special environment variables. Mine handles about 50. Anyway, this tool is rather for NSIS guys out there.

tpr, BTW you may use %COMMANDER_PATH% or %COMMANDER_EXE% envvars instead of specifying path to TC in INI file.

Also I don't think it is a good idea to require administrator rights in order to start your tool.

(ofc. COMMANDER_EXE)

%COMMANDER_PROGRAM%

It is %COMMANDER_EXE% not %COMMANDER_PROGRAM%

But you can also use %COMMANDER_INI% which points directly to the current ini-file

Also I don't think it is a good idea to require administrator rights in order to start your tool.

I agree, though NSIScons should not require that. I use it also on a machine where I have no admin rights.

I will consider adding the %COMMANDER_EXE%, thanks.

I agree, though NSIScons should not require that. I use it also on a machine where I have no admin rights.

But it requires elevation if user is administrator. There should be a way to switch requestedExecutionLevel level to asInvoker instead of highestAvailable...

[tpr]

Thanks, I updated the zip with

Code: Select all

RequestExecutionLevel user

Hope this will do the trick.

I have winXP only and never thought this issue can come up. I have to remember to use this in future projects.

[MVV]

Well, now it works w/o elevation prompts.
